We offer for sale a stunning serigraph mirror made in Italy around the 1980s.
Like many pieces produced during the postmodern movement, its design recalls and reinterprets Art Deco.
In this case, the decorative motif of black panthers, characterized by a minimalist and elegant style, is typical of the 1930s.
Their silhouette gives an organic shape to the mirror, which is frameless.
This mirror, in my opinion, can dialogue with a wide range of interior design styles because, like an art installation, it doesn't have to "match" anything but speaks its own language.
This mirror, in my mind, blends together various cultural influences: the seductive black panthers of the bronze sculptures of the 1930s, in technique and result, and the iconic mirror by Man Ray, an exponent of Dadaism and Surrealism, still produced today by Cassina.
But, for its minimalism and the immediacy of its graphics, it's also reminiscent of the crazy graphics on the '80s skateboard decks designed by Jim Phillips...
